[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/2] coreutils: Do not install uptime

[Vicente Olivert Riera]

coreutils' uptime doesn't work and its execution fails with a message
like this one:

  uptime: couldn't get boot time: No such file or directory

busybox and procps-ng provide a working alternative.

This is a common old problem as we can see here:

[Buildroot] [PATCH 2/2] procps-ng: Fix installation and take precedence over busybox

[Vicente Olivert Riera]

Currently procps-ng binaries are installed under $(TARGET_DIR)/usr/usr
instead of $(TARGET_DIR)/usr, which would be the expected. This is
caused because the default value of the --exec-prefix configure option
is /usr, and Buildroot always adds --prefix=/usr to the configure
option. We fix this by setting --exec-prefix to an empty value.

At the same time we make sure the procps-ng binaries have precedence
over the busybox ones.

I think this is not the proper fix. A more appropriate fix is to
actually get uptime to work, which is a oneliner. See my patch posted
at http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/387971/.

I'll mark your patch as Rejected in patchwork. Of course, if you
disagree, feel free to turn back your patch to the "New" state with an
explanation.

Thanks a lot for noticing this issue in the first place!

I have tested it and it works fine.

I don't disagree. I also think it's better to have a working coreutils' 
uptime instead of disabling it.
